Lovely Incense is an incense shop in the Nepal capital city, Kathmandu, owned by Dipendra Dangol. The current brand, Three Lotus, decorates packets with a hand pressed Himalayan flower, so they are sometimes known as Himalayan Flower. Previously the brand was called Eyes of The Lord Buddha.
There is so much to like in just that. This is clearly a long way from process, machines, and corporate business. There is human life here, and respect for the natural. The incense is made for Dipendra Dangol, who founded his shop, Lovely Incense, about 25 years ago, and who now employs 11 women to make and pack the incense. He has a wholesale website, Lovely Incense, though his incense is available retail from online sites across the world.
In my experience of Nepal incenses made for Dipendra Dangol, who founded his shop, Lovely Incense, in Kathmandu about 25 years ago, they are crudely and simply made; they do not appear to use sophisticated fixatives (which protect, magnify, and disperse the fragrance when burned), and they use basic sandalwood powder in place of charcoal (so there will be a smell of smouldering wood which will mix with the scent of the fragrance),

Conclusion: This is not the best made or most aesthetically pleasing or exciting incense I have burned, but I love the ambiance and the style, and the romance of this operation in Kathmandu. I particularly like the basic, home-made, rustic feel of the packets and the incense, and the use of real Himalayan flowers to decorate the packets. Charming.
